Celebrate!

Hallo hallo Peeps!

As I mentioned last post, I'm heading to New York for the week so if you don't hear from me in the next few days, don't worry, I haven't died yet :D (By the way, the title illustration above is done by Tianzhou Chen. Check him out here).

Now tho, it's time to celebrate! Since I started using MediaFire exactly two months ago, I've already had 1000+ downloads. Heck yeah! That's not including songs posted by other contributors either. Not too shabby for an itty bitty bog like us, eh? So thanks to y'all who've followed me and taken the time to read my posts. You rock!


So meet Lykke Li. If you don't know her already, she's pretty popular, and no wonder! Her voice is AMAZING. I just can't get enough of the way she sings. It's definitely nothing like the hard stuff I post, but I promise she won't disappoint. (If you'd like something harder anyway, just scroll down to my previous post!)

Pony Boy Black's Summer Days and Nights

"Performance artist Pony Boy Black aka Michael David Quattlebaum Jnr. took a series of provocative images whilst living in a warehouse squat in Chicago."

Here are a few images from his series taken for Dazed and Confused Magazine at Dazed Digital. Read Pony Boy Black's interview here, or just enjoy the pictures.

It's fucking cold

Oi!

Lo, Behold: I have returned to the land of the ice and snow, back from Brazil for another fun-filled semester of delightful studies and gettin drunk. Anyway, that's completely irrelevant to what's really important, the music:

For an ultra-fresh dance party, check out this new Database (They're actually Brazilian!) remix:

Move My Baby (Database Remix) - Superpose

Let us reflect upon 2008 with a Lykke Li remix by a up-and-coming Brooklyn producer, Pocketknife:

Breaking It Up (Pocketknife's Loosefoot Remix) - Lykke Li

And then to weird out we have a remix of Aphex Twin's classic:

Windowlicker (Zuckr's Breakbeat Chop Up) - Aphex Twin

When Foamo came to Montreal, I was a little underwhelmed. But that's because I have unrealistic standards. With this new-ish remix, its apparent he's holding to the good path of heavy electro:

Half in Love (Foamo Remix) - Mystery Jets

Enjoy, and expect more (like some beast mixes) in the near future! I'm off to read about contemporary European moral philosophy and foreign affairs. woo.
